Add documentation how to use the `solax_meter_gateway` #49

Closed syssi closed 1 month ago

syssi commented 1 year ago

The solax_meter_gateway can be used as SDM230-MID-SOLAX (SDM230 with solax firmware) drop-in replacement. The Solax inverter with export control: meter enabled setting will request the current power consumption periodically. The solax_meter_gateway responds to this request with a sensor measurement retrieved from another sensor/device.

How to enable the "export control: meter" mode:

Settings -> Pin: 6868 -> Export control -> Meter enable

See #32 See #20

Probably more Solax inverters are supported. This feature isn't limited to the Solax X1 series.
